Multi-objective optimisation of deployable bistable scissor structures Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Lightweight bistable deployable structures can be designed to be transportable and reusable. They instantaneously achieve some structural stability when transformed from the compact to the deployed state through a controlled snapthrough, as a result of intended geometric incompatibilities between the beams. Due to their transformable bistable nature their design requires assessing both their non-linear transformation behaviour, as well as their ...
